Me, Spank, and Herb made ACID Track in Spank's mom's living room while we were still in school, and at that time none of us had yet to have ever met Marshal. When I did finally meet Marshall Ron Hardy had already been playing Acid Track for months and Marshall even said that he had knew about the track and even heard Ron drop it. But now he's saying that he produced it? I'm very very hurt and disappointed that he would say such thing, I thought that we were friends and I also looked up to him as a mentor. So I'm totally lost and utterly confused right now and not at all sure what the motivation would be for him to even make such a claim. I've reached out to him and my management are in the process of reaching out to Electronic Beats about this situation and the inclusion of such an obviously fraudulent claim by Marshall Jefferson in this video. Just a little research would have put them onto the falsities of his statement. This is the history of a music and a movement, let's please get it right.
@DJ PIerre All vinyl records we have (Trax and Whos That Beat) says produced and mixed by Marshall Jefferson on the label. Online sources shows the same information. Discogs, Beatport, Wikipedia etc. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_Tracks www.discogs.com/release/1949-Phuture-Acid-Tracks www.beatport.com/artist/marshall-jefferson/4627 clone.nl/item31002.html www.insomniac.com/music/from-the-crate-phuture-acid-tracks/ Plus there were interviews with Marshall before in which which he says the same. Guess there is a little confusion between producer and composer / writer.
This is the history of a music and a movement, let's please get this right." I completely agree with you DJ Pierre, how could I or anyone else do anything but believe what you say, but it's also understandable that they made this "mistake" in this vid due to the information out there. I hope it gets sprted out to your liking and I wish you amd your co-writers the best! Great music btw!
@@djpierrephuture Just a question: Did Armando's Confusion on Westbrook Record hit the vinyl press earlier than Acid Trax? I know from one of yours or Spanky's interviews that Acid Trax was played by Ron Hardy from reel to reel until it was pressed on vinyl. Imo it would be great if you, Adonis, Mike Dunn, Chris Westbrook and Mike Wilson will do the next acid episode!
@@MrDahlbacken Yes I've had a minute to think about it and you're right, I absolutely agree with you and my sincere apologies to @ElectronicBeats. TBT for me it's just super annoying and hurtful when you've done something and spent your life on a journey that's based on what you've created just to have certain ones lay claim to it, or devalue the uniqueness of it, or try to put confusion and doubt on it's origins specially when there never was any before. In recent years people have gone over and beyond to try and bring mass confusion into the creation of Acid House music and the sound Acid. Spank has passed on now so it's just me left to speak on it and I'm just not gonna allow it to go on any longer. As soon as someone dies people start talking and putting a spin on things that where long a go established facts. But yes I'm definitely triggered about this topic as it's a very emotion space for me for a lot of reasons. It's actually only because of Spanky that I had even started making music, this was his dream and he begged me to do it. I had honestly thought about quitting when he passed away not realizing that I pushed so hard to be successful in this (his dream) because I ended up making it and he didn't. he was so proud of what we created that it didn't matter that he didn't personally reach a high level of success. When people tried to make him feel bad about it he would just tell them "well I discovered Pierre and look at him!" So it was for that reason that I kept pushing, I guess now I can rest but I will not allow anyone to appropriate what we did.
Is this the real Pierre? Because I could not believe that such an eminence would need to make a perfunctory complaint like this. He wouldn't need to clarify or to prove anything; his remarkable legacy speaks for himelf. Plus, it's quite obvious, at least for me, what Marshall meant by the word "producer" in the context of those years. I guess pretty much everyone in the Acid House scene knows that the true brain behind "Acid Trax" is no other than Pierre. Marshall, far from boasting, simply gave a historical fact about his presence in that release.
Been breaking into warehouses since 1982 doing small illegal events with space for about 300 people.. 5 years later Acid house and detroit techno arrived. A year later on October 30th 1988 i did an illegal party ia London called Stomach Basher. We had space for 800 people...3000 people turned up instead. I was absolutely shitting my pants with panic as to how am i gonna cater for this amount of people. Even though i had more people outside the party went down really well. 2 tracks from this post i played, Armando land of confusion and especially Charles B Lack of love, my goodness ravers lost their minds when i dropped them , Beautiful days of music where the urgency to dance back then was unseen even unheard of. Best days of my life. This year I'll be 59 and i love this music even more than when it first came out lol.. Great post and great concept vibe .. Subscribed 👍❤🎶❤️
I was just a kid back in the 80's, but I remember every weekend spending the night at my friend's house. We used to stay up really late and found this "pirate radio station' that would play a lot of acid house, techno, etc... of course, we had no idea what the stuff was called back then. MTV never played any of it, nor did you hear it on any "normal" radio stations. To this day, electronic music is my passion. Those experiences from when I was a kid helped push me to learn music production in college. I've been making electronic music (as a hobby) for about 20+ years now. It would be great if I could get on a nice electronic music label.. but unfortunately, these days it seems to be all about 'who you know'. Regardless, I'm not going to give up my passion ever.
This episode has such a hell of a lineup. Oliver Bondzio (1/2 of Hardfloor) is one of my favorite electronic musicians of all time. old school acid is such a fucking amazing genre. I ❤️ Acid!!!!!! 😀
Absolute treasure trove of acid history from these great guests. These men lived it and love it with a passion! Great episode. Could listen to them speak about their history for hours and hours.
acid house is to electronic music what punk was to rock music. even the old acid classics still have the energy, the funk, the untamed and extatic vibe that is often missing in current electronic music. thank you for existing, acid house!
@@duckacid industrial as we know it today was started by members of Godflesh so it's origins are the metal scene. Unless we are talking about Throbbing gristle who were hippies into creating art music they certainly were not punks.
The first time I came into contact with old school house, and acid was when GTA: San Andreas came out I was around 11/12 years, it changed my life because introduced me to a whole bunch or artists that I came to love like Mr.Fingers, Todd Terry and 808 State, one of the songs that marked me was the one and only, Move Your Body by Marshall Jefferson, it made me wanna dance and jump with excitement while I sang along with the lyrics, this pave my way into liking other branches of the genre like techno and uk garage. Already managed to watch live some legends like Jeff Mills, Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Solomun, Kerry Chandler and St. Germain, I hope one day I get to rave at one of his sets too, thank you all so much for these series.
The 303 just does something to me. Always has. Always will. If you know, you know. Best Blind test yet, more please 🙂 Smiley faces used to mean something. Charles B............... one of my all time faves. Big Up EB.
This is one of the best episode of the series, and Luke Vibert's priceless face at 12:54 says it all.. Not only through the track selection but also through the artists who participated. You can tell they lived through a music-defining era, partly enabled by the TB-303, and have a strong dedication to it. Would love to hear more stories from that time, you can tell there is a comradery despite the drama. Long live acid.
So glad they included Phuture - Slam - my favourite 303 line of all. My son recently described it as sounding like alien lasers - he wasn't a fan (unlike me!)
Tyree Cooper is one of my biggest favorites. 🙏 His track "Love" and those lyrics still have a very important message for everybody, especially since Loco Dice played it in the end of his "The Lab" mix.
Really amusing to watch these legends play this challenge, which is a game and, at the same time, a lecture about our beloved electronic music history. For example, having Mr. Jefferson himself speaking about former Acid House productions (Sleezy D in this case), way before "Phuture: Acid Tracks", the one that most people mistakenly think is the very first.
It's hardly a challenge! Even my mom knows them all!! 😆😉 Unless someone has a particularly bad memory, there's no reason not to get 10/10 and all within the first few seconds.
Let’s not forget what we have here.. A gift of sonic pleasure!.. futuristic, energetic, funky, damn funky!. A movement and a culture that still kicks as hard as it ever did and ever will, all ‘produced’ by likeminded creative people with one intention.. too rock the crowd.. and boy it did that, it blew my mind and still does hearing all of the mentioned tracks then and now I have all of them and love them all, so thank you everyone who was involved in making the ‘Acid’ sound whether it be guys from Chicago, New York, Detroit etc, etc, etc.. and not forgetting everyone and everything that falls under the ‘House Music’ banner.. You blow our minds!. Thank you.
This music never fails to feel vibrant, vital and raw. Love love love! Amazing group of dons too! I spent 20mins chatting to Luke at a festival we both played at and he might be the nicest person ever.
OMG! Marshall Jefferson! What a legend! OK, so I was a pre-teen when I finally realized how much I liked electronic music. I liked groups like Depeche Mode and The Pet Shop Boys. First Marshall Jefferson track I heard was The Pet Shop Boy's - Being Boring (Marshall Jefferson Remix). I didn't know who the guy was but he taught me what a proper remix should sound like. He deconstructed Being Boring and gave it a new interpretation that sounded nothing like the original... but sounded like the original. Weird but you have to listen to the original and his remix to understand. All I knew anything Marshall Jefferson produced or remixed was going to be good. I didn't have to listen to it. I just purchased it. Oh, his maxi-singles where plastered with remixes. Telekon Electronic Beats... thanks for having this legend. I would hope you guys do an interview of him.
I feel sorry for kids today. Where is their music that upsets parents and politicians. What groove can they latch on to and be a part of. Acid house was my punk. Being 18 in '88 this music made me who I am and supplies the nostalgia I need. My weekly fix was at Warehouse in Leeds, a dirty sweat box, perfect for delerious arm waving a sniffing Vick's 👍
I remember around 2006 i sold my record collection which was early 90's techno and acid on ebay and remember Luke Vibert buying a couple of tunes. It was if i actually met him and felt so honoured he actually bought my records!! wish i could remember which ones they were. (scoots off to check sales history on Ebay)
